Red Head Elegant Pseudochromis

Red Head Elegant Pseudochromis

Latin Name Pseudochromis elongatus
Common Name Red Head Elegant Pseudochromis
Also known as Elongate Dottyback, Elegant Dottyback
Fast Facts A smaller species, the Red Head Elegant Pseudochromis is not as aggressive as some of its realities. Not regularly available, this rare species was only recently collected for the trade. Be sure to grab them as soon as they become available, as they're very popular and never plentiful. This is an excellent aquarium fish, and like all Pseudochromis (aka Dottybacks) it's very hardy. This is usually a shy, cautious fish hen first introduced into the aquarium. Keep this fish with peaceful tankmates, as it can be intimidated by overzealous feeders. Most specimens are around 3.4"-1"-1.75"
